High school notebook: Class 6A semifinals set for next week

BY JACOB UNRUH AND SCOTT WRIGHT | Nov 15, 2014

The Oklahoma Secondary School Activities Association announced the locations, date and time Saturday morning for all four Class 6A semifinal football games next week, with three of the games being played in the Tulsa metro.
In Class 6A-I, Jenks and Owasso will play Friday night at 7 p.m. at Tulsa’s H.A. Chapman Stadium. The other semifinal between Mustang and Tulsa Union will be played at the same stadium Saturday at 1 p.m.
The Division II semifinals are both set for 7 p.m. Friday. Bixby and Sand Springs will play at Broken Arrow, while Lawton and Tulsa Washington will play at Yukon.
Winners advance to the state championship games two weeks later, which will be played at a site and time to be determined.
Last year, the OSSAA approved a bye week following the semifinals to accommodate the smaller brackets with the Class 6A split and avoid Thanksgiving week serving as a championship week.
ROAD WINS AT A PREMIUM IN FIRST ROUND
A playoff road win never comes easy, and Friday night further proved the theory.
Only 16 road teams survived out of 88 first-round games, slightly less than a 20-percent success rate. District champions were 41-3 in the opening round.
Class 2A had the strongest home-field advantage with only one road victory, Panama’s 35-21 win at Chandler. Class A and 3A each had three road teams win, the most of any class.
Oddly, the 16 road winners on Friday night won by an average of nearly 12 points, with just five of those games being decided by fewer than seven points.
“When you go on the road, you’re already about seven points down,” said Minco quarterback Hunter Jones, who guided the Bulldogs to the biggest blowout among road winners, a 36-point win over Healdton. “It’s tough to win on the road this time of year, so if you can get it done, it’s pretty big.”
DISTRICT 4A-1 PULLS OFF SWEEP
In the first round of the Class 4A playoffs, only two teams won on the road — Clinton and Weatherford, both from District 4A-1. With Anadarko and Newcastle picking up home victories, 4A-1 pulled off the rare playoff sweep in the first round, defeating all four opponents from 4A-2.
The most notable such sweep in recent years was District 5A-2’s sweep of 5A-1 in 2012. That year, fourth-seeded Carl Albert opened the playoffs with an upset of 5A-1 champion Del City and the Titans rolled on to the state title.
HENNESSEY’S JOHNS SETS SCHOOL RECORD
Hennessey junior Tabor Johns’ journey from third-string receiver to starting running back added a school record Friday.
Johns scored six touchdowns in a 41-6 rout of Luther to set a single-game record for rushing touchdowns.
“He was big for us because we felt like we could run the football,” Hennessey coach Rick Luetjen said.
Johns finished with 209 yards on 23 carries, a number much lower than his average of more than 30 per game the past few weeks with Abe Ortega dealing with an ankle injury.
Ortega is expected to be back to 100 percent in time for the second-round game against high-powered Lindsay, which would be huge as Hennessey looks to control the game with its rushing attack.
“It’s just magnified against a team like Lindsay that is so talented and can score so quick with the offense they run,” Luetjen said. “Tabor’s going to have to be able to run it up in there, get positive yards and then Abe’s really coming around to give us some spell back there, too. That gives us a better 1-2 punch with those guys back there.”
LOSS OF QUALLS DOESN’T STOP OCS
Even without starting quarterback Thomas Qualls, Oklahoma Christian School continued rolling in a 35-6 rout of Newkirk to open the Class 2A playoffs.
Qualls suffered an injury in the Week 10 win over Luther. His status remains uncertain for next week.
But if Friday is any indication, he might be able to take another week off to heal. Receiver Connor Sikes moved to quarterback, throwing four touchdown passes, and the Saints’ defense allowed just 29 yards in the first half.
“We just keep doing what we do,” OCS coach Derek Turner said. “We handled it well.”
Turner said Sikes had not played quarterback in a few years, but he was impressed with how well he handled the new duties.
That will make preparing for Kingston (9-1) next week even easier.
“He’s a great ballplayer, great receiver and he understands our offense,” Turner said about Sikes. “He throws a nice ball and he’s got nice touch.”

From the moment Chris Roberts walked on to a makeshift football field six years ago, he knew it was going to be a long road to success on his new but risky journey.
The field, known as “The Swamp” due to its constantly wet conditions and ill-favored appearance, was the beginning of something remarkable for Crossings Christian, a relatively new private school that was starting its football program at the middle school level only.
It was the first step toward building what some perceive to be the next private-school powerhouse, even if most people know little to nothing about it or even where it’s located in northwest Oklahoma City.
“I had no idea what I was getting into,” said Roberts, a former assistant coach at established programs Kingfisher and Edmond Santa Fe. “I was pretty naïve. Who gets to build something from scratch? That’s really what enticed me to it.”
There were certainly times Roberts questioned his leap of faith to jumpstart the program from the ground up as the amount of losses coincided with the growth of the program to the varsity level.
That makes this season not only the most successful season in school history with its first ever playoff appearance Friday at 7:30 p.m. against Hominy in its new multi-million dollar stadium, but also the most rewarding for players that began with nothing but pads and footballs.
In the short span of the program and school, Crossings Christian has gone from “The Swamp” to the new stadium as part of a $15.5 million project to build a new middle school, fieldhouse, football stadium and baseball and softball stadiums.
The project also brought the football team from dressing in bathrooms, storage rooms and classrooms to a $1.2 million fieldhouse housing a spacious locker room.
“We walked out of those bathrooms just wanting to play football,” said senior quarterback Noah Niederschuh, one of three original remaining members of the seventh grade team that won its first ever game six years ago. “Sometimes you don’t even think about being in a closet. Sometimes you look back at it and think, ‘We were in closets.’ That was a big learning experience for us.”
The makeshift weight room was generally hallways jammed with weight machines or the new concession stand. Now, the Knights have a spacious weight room in the new fieldhouse.
They have also gone from road warriors playing every game on the road to a normal split schedule of five home games and five road games in their third year as members of the Oklahoma Secondary School Activities Association.
Yet as the losses mounted — especially the past two seasons in the OSSAA with a combined record of 4-15 — there was a plan being followed.
The school was founded in 2001 as just an elementary school and now is already expanding into the Class 2A level in high school basketball. The plan is for the high school to house as many as 300-400 students, which would put the school in Class 3A based on this year’s Average Daily Membership numbers used by the OSSAA to determine classifications.
That’s a scary placement for a school with impressive resources.
“Of course monetary support here is big in how they want to build things and do things the right way,” said Crossings Christian athletic director Shawn Schenk, a former boys basketball coach at Edmond Santa Fe and Enid who joined the school last year. “They didn’t just go halfway on building that stadium and fieldhouse.
“Powerhouse? That would be awesome if God wants to bless us with that. That’s not our main objective, but we also want to do what we do and do it as best we can.”
It’s also in the plan to remain a tight-knit community of its own despite being entrenched in a business area.
“This is all new to everybody, so we’re playing it up and everybody’s excited,” Roberts said. “We’re a small school in the middle of the city, so we have our own little community so it’s still got that small-school feel. The elementary is just as excited about it, so it’s a lot of fun.”
Winning has that effect.
For the players, it’s not just that but a chance to be the beginning of something more meaningful.
“We want to be more than a stadium,” senior linebacker Christian Osterhout said. “The stadium encourages us because we see our football program is going to be amazing. But we’re more than just that stadium now. It encourages us to know we’re going to become that football program.”
Throughout this journey, Crossings Christian has kept notes on its opponents and their habits, learning what a successful team is supposed to look like against successful programs such as Apache, Cashion, Minco and Wayne.
The Knights were often the welcomed opponent on a Homecoming or Senior Night. Roberts even joked opponents could name their score and admitted he was worried about being able to finish games.
But it all served as a building block.
“That was my concern. I didn’t want to forfeit,” Roberts said. “That was huge for me personally not having to forfeit games. If we say we’re going to play OSSAA and we’re going to commit to this, we need to do it.”
Crossings Christian went 6-1 this season in district play, earning second behind Cashion. There are only four seniors on the team and a strong group of eighth graders coming next season that’s expected to add possibly 20 players to the 27-member roster.
The Knights’ path to success may already be set before Friday even plays out, and Roberts’ journey is suddenly looking brighter and brighter.
“We found a way, but it wasn’t ideal,” Roberts said. “I’m just obviously excited, because I’d be lying if I didn’t question it myself. I feel excitement for our kids because of what they had to go through.
“Whatever happens Friday or from here on out, it’s been a successful season.”

A year ago this week, all eyes were on one high school scrimmage. Edmond Santa Fe and Norman North were set to meet as part of a four-team scrimmage with two of the top quarterbacks in the nation.
A year later, Santa Fe's Justice Hansen is fighting for the backup job at Oklahoma and Norman North's David Cornwell is trying to climb the depth chart at Alabama.
But the same scrimmage still has fans buzzing.
Edmond Santa Fe, Norman North, Westmoore and Tulsa Union — four of the best teams in the state — will all be on the turf at Norman's Harve Collins Field beginning at 3:50 p.m. Thursday. At 6, Westmoore will face Union in a game-like scrimmage, with Edmond Santa Fe and Norman North following at 7.
Norman North once again has a Division I quarterback in Oklahoma State commit John Kolar, while Keaton Torre is behind center for Edmond Santa Fe. Only a junior, he already has an offer from Louisville and is expected to be one of the state's top players in the 2016 class.
Westmoore, which made its rise toward the top of Class 6A last season, has perhaps the state's best group of wide receivers, led by Louisville commit Dahu Green.
